- run x 7.21 km [warm up x 2 km; time trial x 3km in 11:48 ; cool down x 2 km]
- stretch
woot! read once that a 3 km time trial is a decent benchmark of fitness for a 5k race (i.e. competing with other people). meant to do this on the track but ended up having to do it on the road for logistical reasons, which meant a couple of steep-ish climbs but also that it i ended up a few meters lower than i started. calling it a wash. i set it up on my watch as a 2-mile test but hit 3km right as i got to a major road and had to stop to not, you know, get hit by a car. once i could start again i was dead so i finished slow. so i'll just let myself be happy that i hit the 3km target. next time i do a 2-mile test i'll either do it on the track or turn right onto the street right before the big road.

- run 6.63 km in 36:12 [light strides x ~100m, 170m, 150m at the end]
forced slow pace and kept it short because plan is 3km time trial (or maybe two-mile test, i.e. 3.21 km) tomorrow.
- stretch
i have had a very shitty week at work. in an unusually bad mood, letting it affect me to an unusual degree. not sure why.

lol maybe we will. for the time being, give me desert summer over subtropical autumn any day.
- run 8.60 km in 44:28
had been getting too cute with last few runs, need to remind myself that the bread and butter remains LISS.
- stretch
seven-day total is 54.6 km and i'm on track for my first ever calendar week over 50 km. somehow despite several seven-day stretches over 50km i haven't hit that number from a sunday to a saturday yet.

« on: September 25, 2018, 09:10:27 am »Humidity destroys me too. 9+km in 45' with a sub-4 km in is not a bad workout anyway, even granted how much you have progressed.
humidity, from the perspective of exercise, is the great satan.

glad you got healthy. boo to your teammates for pulling out of a chance to play for a championship! injuries are one thing but family commitments are just other things to put on the calendar.

no doubt. in all seriousness i bet you could get there with patience, if you set it as a goal and really focused on it.
- run 9.06 km in 46:22
5:07 pace, right on target for a relaxed run with 19:30 5k pace as the goal, based on that one training calculator i used months ago.
- stretch
57.3 km seven-day volume, which is a huge (>10%) PR and probably also means i should take a day off tomorrow just in the interest of not pushing myself too fast, AERS, etc. if gf wants to do yoga maybe i'll do that.

picked up my new kinvara 9s today. excited to take them for a spin tonight. the kinvara 8s have just about 1200km/750 miles on them, which is good service.
